It would nice if Keagan Johnson reconsidered his commitment to Iowa.
Oh I'm sure he was pressured by the mega creep Fleck.He decided for them way too soon. Either pressure or a rash decision IMO.
not over, but dont think this story has behind it yet
i think that was what i was trying to say, thanks for clarifyingI agree. He might not be enamored with row the boat, but there’s no sign that he’s looking to flip either.
Kind of like a Nebraska kid choosing arrogant Bill Walsh and a mediocre Stanford team over humble Tom Osborne and a great Husker program? I don’t think we have any idea about this young man’s character. Maybe he just wanted to play in bowl games and doesn’t see that changing at NU anytime soon.We’re desperate and will take him, but a kid who snubs Frost, Fischer and Ruud in favor of Fleck? Makes me question his character a bit.
...
Yes, the mighty powerhouse of Minnesota. I agree it is silly to judge a kid's character based on the school he choses to attend (even if Fleck is cringeworthy), but please stop acting like Minnesota is suddenly a decent football school.Kind of like a Nebraska kid choosing arrogant Bill Walsh and a mediocre Stanford team over humble Tom Osborne and a great Husker program?

Just to clarify, I don’t pass the same judgment for any player who flips their commitment, although I think the practice is too prevalent. Just these particular circumstances where Fleck doesn’t tend to garner a lot of respect. Snubbing Nebraska is understandable as we’ve given little reason to attract all the players we want.Kind of like a Nebraska kid choosing arrogant Bill Walsh and a mediocre Stanford team over humble Tom Osborne and a great Husker program?

The bowl game comment is pretty lame. Anyone with a brain can see the talent we're acquiring and will be competitive in the conference in a year or two.Kind of like a Nebraska kid choosing arrogant Bill Walsh and a mediocre Stanford team over humble Tom Osborne and a great Husker program?

Walsh was 17-17-1 at Stanford and 10 of those wins came in year 1. Fleck is 23-15 in 3 years.
Bretz was the must get from west side. Avante isn’t a dawg and is a lot of hype. Be nice to get him but won’t lose sleep.
You serious, Clark?Walsh was 17-17-1 at Stanford and 10 of those wins came in year 1. Fleck is 23-15 in 3 years.
One started with a 10 win season and declined, the other has improved to a 10 win seasonAnd he was 12-13 in year 2. Literally a game a season difference from Frost. Funny how year 3 with a cupcake schedule can change things.
You wrote Walsh at Stanford.You serious, Clark?
You're just gonna disregard Walsh already being a lock to be a HOF coach, his three Super Bowl rings, coaching Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Ronnie Lott to super-stardom at the highest level, him literally revolutionizing the offensive game with his West Coast offense, and the Stanford football team being the reigning Pac-10 co-champions when Frost committed there?
If you feel like doubling down on simple thoughts, let me point out that Bill Parcells went 3-8 at Air Force in 1978, so P.J. Fleck's got him, too.
11-2 would be enough to convince most of this board we are a powerhouse in the making. Of course, 13-0 would be more convincing.Yes, the mighty powerhouse of Minnesota.

Bowl game comment? Maybe you were responding to someone else? I didn’t say anything about a bowl game, just noted that Frost picked a mediocre Stanford over a great NU program and no one here questions his character. Instead we assume he just thought his chances of becoming an NFL QB were better under Walsh than Frost.The bowl game comment is pretty lame.

They were bad Fleck's first two years and will come crash back down to earth this year. So tired of all the Minnesota hype.11-2 would be enough to convince most of this board we are a powerhouse in the making. Of course, 13-0 would be more convincing.
If a kid wants to play QB in the league, chosing Walsh was a smart move. It is also true that the sheepskin from Stanford has some value as well. Minnesota and Fleck? Not so much.Kind of like a Nebraska kid choosing arrogant Bill Walsh and a mediocre Stanford team over humble Tom Osborne and a great Husker program?
